In an update to the Mick Foley story I posted earlier, it should be noted that Foley’s WWE contract is set to expire soon, possibly as soon as the end of August. So if the hardcore legend is actually unhappy with the company it would be very easy for him to leave following Summerslam.
When WWE originally filmed the vignettes currently airing on SmackDown for Ron “R-Truth” Killings, they filmed eight of them. It looks like it’ll be about a month and half before he actually debuts in the ring on television. They’ve aired two of them so far, so there’s six more to go. If they do indeed air all eight of them, he won’t be debuting until Friday, September 19 at the earliest.
Brian Kendrick is definitely in line for a push from WWE. They want to make Kendrick a somebody, and create an act similar to Shawn Michaels & Diesel. The Kendrick & Ezekiel pairing is patterned after them. Also, he is now going under the name “The Brian Kendrick” and his Sliced Bread #2 finisher is now “The Kendrick,” which is said to be a spoof on “The Tazz” line by Mike Adamle.
